So the NWOBHM band Satan will be releasing their new album, "Life Sentence" at the end of April, with vocalist Brian Ross. I for one can't wait, as I loved "Court In The Act". They'll be premiering a new song, "Siege Mentality", tomorrow (March 26) at http://aardschok.com. I am definitely looking forward to it.

I could have sworn the that I read it was Michael Jackson that did the vocals on the new one.. but I'm glad it's not, I love Court in the Act and Suspended Sentence didn't really do it for me. The new songs sounds like pure Satan and I'm glad the vocals haven't changed much from Court...

Wow, unexpected cool stuff. Always thought these guys weren't more than a one album wonder. Looks like they'll prove me wrong.

I've always been more familiar with a lot of the names from the NWOBHM scene and their impact and influence than the actual music itself, Satan obviously being one of them. Although this is only my first exposure to them, I'd have to agree that this definitely rips! It's got a bit of an early speed metal vibe going on with that main riff and while that's a good enough hook for me to start with, there's a lifelong experience in this band's existence so I feel they've got even more tricks than that up their sleeves. Definitely going to need to dig further to see what else I've been missing out on.

Dude, if you like NWOBHM and speed metal, listen to Court in the Act. It's been forever since I've listened to that album, but it remains one of my favorite albums ever. Satan rips! Check out A Time of Changes by Blitzkrieg as well, you won't regret it!

Well, this is my reminder to finally buy their stuff. I'm looking forward to the new Blitzkrieg, also. Brian Ross is a busy chap for his age.

I was also surprised bordering on amazed that this is completely the same lineup from Court in the Act.

And speaking of Brian Ross and NWOBHM, I'm hoping we can also get another Blitzkrieg album. It's been about six years since "Theatre of the Damned".

Dude, they posted a studio update last month. Check their website.

I don't know ANA, I remember being quite underwhelmed by their second album the last time I listened to it. It's been a long time though, so I could give it another opportunity. Never checked out Blind Fury either, so there's also that, yes.....

Damn, guess the next couple of days will be "Satan Time" for me

There's a vibe in this thread that suggest "ya'll ain't know" Satan has been the shit since forever.

Furthest thing from a one-hit wonder in my mind. They've been putting out low-key classics under the name Pariah for years now. I can't speak on Unity or whatever it was called but Suspended Sentence, Out of Reach, The Kindred, and Blaze of Obscurity are all great releases and they never faltered in the production department, always kept a gritty tone and an overall job that begs to be turned up and up.
